Silverlight 2 Controls - First Impressions

SilverLight 2.0 Controls are awesome, i was creating SilverLight player with third party controls and facing couple of readblocks but now it is easy to implement with SL 2.0 controls library.

Thanks

Kudos on the release!

I realize this is a beta, and you're probably already aware of this...

I've noticed some control rendering anomalies.  For example, in Visual Studio 2008, during design-time, the control looks fine.  However, at run-time it appears fuzzy, as if the anti-aliasing is off.  Once I run the web app, the rendering is off is VS08 design mode as well.

Here's a comparison:

Zooming in, you'll noticed the differences if it's not apparent at 100%.

In any case, anti-aliasing notwithstanding, the controls are a great improvement over what was originally available.  And, I'm positive the issues will be eventually resolved.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! :-)

Could someone at MS port these over to WPF from Silverlight? Why don't we have a native Calender, Datepicker and Datagrid in WPF but we do in Silverlight!

Doesn't seem to work on my XP x64 box in ie7.  Just get a blank white screen after installing the beta.

Sliverlight 1.0 was released last year and provided an environment for providing a Rich Media Experience

Kathy, you are using four images in this project. I see them as part of the clientbin for runtime, but I don't see them as part of the design package. Therefore when I compile the solution, I don't see any of those four images throught the project, i.e. the image control page shows empty.

So, is there a problem or did you forget to include the four image as part of SL project?

Thanks and looking forward to your answer!

I've noticed that the Scolling Text Box (Bonus) sample doesn't seem to work?

I can type in the text box but when I get near the bottom, I can continue to type, but it won't automatically scroll to my position?

Why is there no right-click, "Copy cut paste" menu on text boxes? That inconsistency is going to drive me (and users) nuts unfortunately.

Now that I have recovered from the excitement of Las Vegas, I thought I'll sit down and give a run down
